The normal pace of bowel evacuation is once a day to once every two days. The spacing out of the stool is often associated with dryness of the intestines and abdominal pain. Constipation sometimes occurs by alternating diarrhea-constipation, associated with abdominal pain. Chinese medicine believes that, although often linked to a poor in fibers diet, constipation also has emotional origins. Stress has the effect of blocking the flow of energy in the abdomen. In women, the onset of the menstrual cycle may worsen this condition. Constipation may be the cause of more serious conditions, which is why Chinese medicine considers it essential to maintain a regular transit.

Laxatives have the effect of lubricating the intestines and thus contribute to bowel movements. But their effects are not sustainable, and they tend to injure the intestinal flora.

The program Asia Vitalproposed here aims, as a complement to your treatment, to sustainably improve your transit. Composed of soft self-massages of acupuncture points and anatomical areas (Do In), simple stretching and Chinese preventive exercices (Qi Gong) accessible to everyone, without age limit, it prevents and alleviates temporary or chronic constipation, by activating the energy flow in the lower abdomen.

The exercises do not have contraindications, but should be performed regularly in calm and the attention to oneself.
